Marcel Simon (historian)

Marcel Simon (10 April 1907 in Strasbourg 26 October 1986) was a French specialist in the history of religions, particularly relations between Christianity and Judaism in antiquity. Simon received an honorary doctorate by the Faculty of Theology at Uppsala University in 1980.[1]

His major work, Verus Israel, was published in 1948; it has been described as 'seminal'.[2]

He was closely associated with Henri Marrou, appreciating his layman's approach to Vatican II.

Notes

gollark: Yes, it is indeed stupid. You were saying it was not authoritarianism, however.
gollark: I would consider censoring information which makes your government look bad fairly authoritarian.
gollark: There were (are) apparently bad quality issues: https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2021/04/28/brazil-rejects-the-gamaleya-vaccine
gollark: I mean, people would complain about how terrible it was of China to let this happen and whatever, and then forget about it in a few weeks and continue engaging in 1824719824689 trade with China.
